Also, started the day off with 1 liter of water, & drank half a gallon of 9.0 alkaline water throughout the day, & ate lots of fiber.

Notes on sleep: I tested out my theory yesterday by trying to remain alkaline all day after working out in hopes that I wouldn't need so much sleep, but no such luck. Maybe my body was just detoxing caffeine or something lol. Idk.. we'll see how things unfold, but let last night be a lesson to me: keep planning for 8hrs of sleep even if you don't end up needed it lol.

Today's Goals: Run for over 20mins then do abs, legs, arms, and butt, as tomorrow is an off day.

Today's workout: stretch, jog, stretch.

Warm-up: I did the usual sun salutation for about 20mins, along with a few other moves. Just got my Vegan Health & Fitness mag in the mail today & was that this yoga combo is in it! =D

Workout: jogged for probably a good hour! Went to the park and did some backwards, & L+R side running, and felt inspired during this one song with a hard chorus to run while taking the widest, and largest steps I could take. My butt was nice and sore afterwards - in fact, it still is, over 12 hours later! I even sweat more than I have ever sweated before! I kept wondering what was falling on my shoulders only to discover that it was my sweat lol! Made my day as I've never been a sweater before =D

I didn't end up doing any other exercises as I was out of time, but it didn't bum me out as I had a great workout anyways!

Notes/Comments: I have been taking a lot of fiber, maybe too much, because of the lack of food diversity in the house. We have bread with 8g of fiber per slice & I eat about 3 sandwiches a day.. needless to say, I have not been going to the ladies lol. So, I'm taking a look at what I can do to eat better, and I took a laxative tonight lol. Good times... /facepalm

Notes on Sleep: I went to bed around 11:30-12 & woke up around 6-6:15. I expected to need more sleep after not getting enough the night before. I'm almost to the point where I throw up my arms in "wtf I don't get it", but until then, I try logging this until I find a pattern!

Notes/Comments: My ass still hurt like a bitch, except much less than yesterday! Yesterday it felt like both cheeks got punched! I would have done more today but woke up too late. I bought some astragalus last night which will help me recover some bounce.

Notes on Sleep: slept for about 9 hours, woke up on my own & felt pretty good. Makes me sad to think 6 hours a night was a fluke: I don't want to sleep this much

Abs: Basic crunch, Oblique crunch L+R, bicycle crunch, reverse crunch, long arm crunch, cross over crunch, half curl, vertical leg crunch, plank.... Yea, I did about 5 maybe 10 of these, but there was no keeping up with the girl in the video on loop :p

Notes/Comments:I woke up with not enough sleep but not enough time to get some more. Went for a jog around the block as I thought that's all I had time for, but got a call from my boss telling me to come in an hour later so I don't get over time.. so went back around the block. I really wish I knew earlier as I would have gone to the park, but eh, wasn't the worst workout.

Only got 500ml of water in me before the jog, as I thought I wouldn't have enough time to do anything more.

Notes/Comments: I drank way too much the night before and slept in till noon because of it, missing out on the morning sunshine I could have ran to the park in. Despite that, I got a decent workout. My add was killing me from yesterday, which was awesome. My abs did feel a little sore when stretched but that was it.

I've been trying to retrace my steps to find out how I managed to only get 6 hours of sleep, but with no luck.
